13. Discussion about having different flags to represent all the nationalities represented within St Clares. Perhaps to be used at Pentecost.

14. CHURCH CLEANERS :- more volunteers needed to clean the Church.

15. PARISH ROOM Pat raised the state of the Parish Room . It needs general maintenance; there is no disabled toilet. Discussion about possibly using funds from “Mission Together” that will become available from March/April 2017. Perhaps need someone in who can give us ideas how to make it a more attractive and useable space. Perhaps doors into the garden and decking? Fr Emeka will speak to a contact about having a disabled toilet and fixing faults in the room in the first instance. Looking around the room there appeared to be items that were not being used and could potentially be discarded subject to checking with the various groups that use the room.
